Does anyone know if this will be broadcast live online anywhere? Seems as though CSN is only showing segments later in the afternoon.

I can't wait to see this. I hope Zell is there and Ricketts puts a boot up his ass.

Oh, that would have been the obvious place to look first... [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blush.gif[/img]

"Our shareholders are our fans...and we're going to work for them."

[jstraw]

Well, he's sticking with Hendry.

[rok]

Only a slight increase in payroll next season, but increased focus on player development long-term. No surprises.

[jstraw]

"Understaffed" read" 'yep...a director of baseball operations is in the cards.'

In case you couldn't tell, the 'hypethetical" was the Bradley question. And what did the brother with hair just say Jim was smarter than to do???

They've talked to the Red Sox management about how they run things which is good.

That was specifically with regard to how the Bosox updated Fenway in place without displacing the team even temporarily.

Yeah, he mentioned that it was only with regard to facilities, not operations.
